Visceral fat mRNA expression of cytokines in ESRD participants. TNFα, adiponectin (ADIPOQ), adiponectin receptor 1 (ADIPOR1), and adiponectin receptor 2 (ADIPOR2) mRNA expression from visceral adipose tissue was assessed in ESRD participants that developed PTDM versus ESRD patients that did not. TNFα mRNA fold change: 1.42, ADIPOQ mRNA fold change: 0.48, * p < 0.05; ADIPOR1 mRNA fold change: 0.89, p = 0.33; ADIPOR2 mRNA fold change: 0.86, p = 0.49.
